Stargirl returns to our screens this August, and a new trailer gives us a look at Season 2.

Based on the DC Comics superhero Courtney Whitmore created by Johns and Lee Moder, the show was initially one of the original shows created for DC’s subscription platform DC Universe. It follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger, School of Rock) as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to take up the legacy of a long-lost superhero team – The Justice Society of America – and stop the villains of the past. DC’s Stargirl also stars Luke Wilson (Old School) Yvette Monreal (Matador), Anjelika Washington (Young Sheldon), Cameron Gellman (Heathers), Trae Romano (555) and Jake Austin Walker (Rectify).

This summer, it’s back for Season 2 as an original series for The CW in the US, with Amazon Prime Video continuing to hold the UK TV rights. The tone will reportedly be influenced by Nightmare on Elm Street and It, with Nick Taraby joining the cast as the villain Eclipso. The CW, meanwhile, has already given the green light to a third season.

Season 2 premieres on 11th august on Amazon Prime Video, with episodes arriving weekly following their US debut.

 

DC’s Stargirl is available to watch online on Amazon Prime Video as part of a Prime membership or a £5.99 monthly subscription.

 

Stargirl renewed for Season 2

7th July 2020

Stargirl has been renewed for a second season.

Based on the DC Comics superhero Courtney Whitmore created by Johns and Lee Moder, the show is one of the original shows created for DC’s subscription platform DC Universe. It follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger, School of Rock) as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to take up the legacy of a long-lost superhero team – The Justice Society of America – and stop the villains of the past. DC’s Stargirl also stars Luke Wilson (Old School) Yvette Monreal (Matador), Anjelika Washington (Young Sheldon), Cameron Gellman (Heathers), Trae Romano (555) and Jake Austin Walker (Rectify).

The show, which recently premiered in May in the US, has been snapped up by Amazon Prime Video to stream in the UK this August. Now, a couple of weeks after that acquisition, DC has ordered a second season for the series. It will also move from DC Universe to The CW in the US, where it was previously airing new episodes on The CW a day after their online debut. The show will not be available on DC Universe from its second season, marking the online platform’s ongoing decline in exclusive, original programming – Swamp Thing, one of its launch titles, was notably cancelled. In the UK, however, you can expect Season 2 on Amazon Prime Video once more.
